Installation instructions for the Java Workshop(TM) 2.0 on Linux
----------------------------------------------------------------

This document describes step by step how to set up your Java Workshop
2.0 on Linux.

1. Put your Java Workshop 2.0 CD into your CDROM-Drive and mount it to
   a directory, e.g. '/cdrom'. Enter:
     'mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/hdb /cdrom'
   if you have an ATAPI CDROM as Slave on your first
   (E)IDE-Controller.

2. Change to a directory, where you want to install the Workshop,
   e.g. '/opt'.

3. Enter 'tar Zxvpf /cdrom/intel-S2/jws2.0.intel-S2.tar.Z'

4. Change to the new directory 'Java-WorkShop2.0'

5. Now unpack the archive 'jws_linux.tar.gz' in this directory. If it
   can be found at '/tmp', enter:
   'tar zxvpf /tmp/jws_linux.tar.gz'


!!! If you use an other JDK-packet as that one from S.u.S.E., you
    may have to modify the value of _SS_JDK within
    /opt/Java-WorkShop2.0/JWS/intel-S2/bin/startup_wrapper
    that points to the location of the JDK-directory !!!


Now the installation is complete.

Start the Workshop with:

   '/opt/Java-WorkShop2.0/JWS/intel-S2/bin/jws'

if '/opt' is the directory you installed it.


You'll be prompted for your serial number that you can find on your
'Serial Card'.


P.S.:

Unfortunately the Java Workshop 2.0, same as the 1.0 release, is not a
100% pure Java implementation but it has a JDK extension with native
function calls. These are used for the communication between the two
Java machines during the debugging. For this reason the debugging is
not available.


P.P.S.:

The 'fastjavac' compiler that comes with the JWS is implemented in C
and is not executable on Linux. You have to setup the JDK compiler in
the 'Preferences->Builder' Dialog, or change

compiler.jwscompiler=false
compiler.jdkcompiler=true

in the file ~/.jws2.0/jws.properties
